“A child’s first birthday is not only a milestone, but a celebration of growth, joy, and the love that surrounds them.”
Your baby’s first birthday is a once-in-a-lifetime moment worth celebrating. At Kimi Photography, we capture the laughter, curiosity, and joy of this milestone through timeless portraits. Smash cake sessions are playful and fun, yet designed with the same fine-art style and care as all of our work. From sweet expressions to those unforgettable cake-covered smiles, we preserve every detail in a way that becomes an heirloom for your family. If you are hoping to celebrate this special occasion with portraits you’ll treasure forever, here’s what you can expect from your session.
What to Expect
We keep the celebration simple, cozy, and joyful. Our Portland studio is the perfect place to let your little one explore, play, and—of course—dig into their cake. We’ve learned that one-year-olds shine brightest right after a nap, when their energy is fresh and smiles come easy. That’s when we step in with our cameras, ready to document every giggle, every frosting-covered hand, and every sweet glance toward mom and dad.
The studio is prepared for it all, soft light, clean space, and even a sink nearby for the post-cake cleanup. We bring along thoughtful touches and simple props to make the session feel special.
In the end, what we create together isn’t just a collection of birthday portraits, it’s the story of your child at one year old, told through images that will outlast the fleeting mess of frosting and balloons. Photographs that will remind you, year after year, of just how small they once were, and how much love surrounded them from the very beginning.
The Story You’ll Keep
When the session is over, what remains isn’t just a set of birthday portraits. It’s the story of your child at one year old — curious, joyful, and surrounded by love. These photographs will outlast the frosting and balloons, becoming a reminder of how small they once were and how much happiness they brought from the very beginning.
One year old, full of giggles, curiosity, and frosting-covered hands. At Kimi Photography, we turn your baby’s first birthday into heirloom portraits that capture the joy of this once-in-a-lifetime milestone.
